Agree.
Also worth mentioning that playing an academy product in your first team does boost that value too e.g. Townsend, Carroll & Caulker were testaments to that.
So it does go back to the fundamentals of giving minutes to a handful of players over and above shit players that we buy (N'jie, N'Koudo). I think that we would have given mins to Amos & Oakley-Booth this season were they not injured.
Yup, now the obvious player is Skipp - but if Poch didn't have a penchant for physically developed players he might have thought of Jamie Bowden (who appeared ion pre-season) or even Harvey White, both midfield players which is a position where we need bodies. There's also the likes of TJ Eyoma and Japhet Tanganga, both CB's who can play FB, who both appeared in pre-season, but can't see them getting many minutes if Foyth is to be given much playing time
